John Hannah: Cooperating w/Fitzgerald on Plame

RAWStory: John Hannah, a sr natl security aide on loan to VP Cheney from the offices of then-Under Secr of State for Arms Control and Internatl Security Affairs, John Bolton, was named as a target of Plame probe. He was told in recent wks that he could face imminent indictment for his role in leaking Plame’s name to reporters unless he cooperated w/ the investigation. Those close to the investigation said in 6/03, Hannah was given orders by higher-ups in Cheney’s office to leak Plame's name. The specifics of who issued those orders and what directives were given were not provided. NYTimes: Fitz has told associates he has no plans to issue a final report about the results of the investigation, heightening the expectation that he intends to bring indictments. By signaling that he had no plans to issue the grand jury's findings in such detail, Fitz appeared to narrow his options either to indictments or closing his investigation with no public disclosure of his findings, a choice that would set off a political firestorm. C'mon already!
